Study Notes
Drugs Affecting Cardiovascular System (CVS)
- Blood pressure (hypertension) is the force of blood against artery walls as the heart pumps blood.
- Hypertension occurs when the force is stronger than normal.
- Normal blood pressure is systolic >140 mmHg and/or diastolic >90 mmHg.
Anti-hypertensive Drugs
-
Subtype α1 (receptors):
- Effect: Vasoconstriction (blood vessel constriction)
- Organ: Peripheral blood vessels (arterioles)
-
Subtype α2 (receptors):
- Effect: Decreases sympathetic outflow (reduces nerve signals)
- Organ: Presynaptic neurons (CNS)
-
Subtype β1 (receptors):
- Effect: Increases force and rate of contraction
- Organ: Heart
-
Subtype β2 (receptors):
- Effect: Bronchodilation (widening of bronchi)
- Organ: Bronchi
